Making and distributing counterfeit U.S. currency are punishable by serious time in federal prison. Technically that also includes photocopying U.S. bank notes.

You're technically not even allowed to destroy money, yet alone counterfeit it. Also, about the idea of spending fake US money in Mexican strip clubs, that'll get you taken outside and beaten, possibly to death, really fast. I wouldn't advise it.

You , can ,but you need to do certain things to make it known it's counterfeit. I think it needs to be a certain size, and you need to add some words. I don't remember what they are. And tipping strippers in mexico with COunterfeit is dangerous if not illegal. I am more worried what the club would do to you.

Yes, you may not make counterfeit money. However, "money art" is different. You can draw a dollar bill as a piece of art. If you use a counterfeit bill in any foreign land, you can be charged with passing counterfeit money in both the foreign nation and here in the U.S. as well. If you get caught using fake money to tip strippers at the club in Mexico, the best thing that could happen to you is being arrested by the cops before the club owners dragged off into a desert killing field.
